Unlock All Characters in Castle Crashers: A Guide
Dive into the whimsical world of *Castle Crashers*, a game renowned for its engaging online co-op play and a delightful array of unique characters to unlock. If you're eager to assemble a complete roster, this guide will walk you through the steps to unlock every character in *Castle Crashers*.
All Characters in Castle Crashers and How to Unlock Them
*Castle Crashers* boasts an impressive lineup of 32 characters, each unlockable through various in-game challenges or via optional downloadable content (DLCs). The most enjoyable way to unlock these characters is by teaming up with friends using the game's co-op feature, which adds a layer of fun to the challenge.
It's important to note that in a co-op lobby, each player must select a unique character. For instance, if one player chooses the Green Knight, no other player can use this character during the same session. Characters are not shareable across different profiles or within a lobby; each player needs to unlock them individually, though this can be done in a co-op setting.
